The Gold Coast SUNS preparations for the 2014 AFL will get underway tomorrow  with the 2013 NAB AFL Draft Combine set to commence at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.

GC SUNS list and strategy manager, Scott Clayton and Recruiting Manager Dom Ambrogio will be joined by their recruiting scouts, club medical staff as well as senior coach Guy McKenna and General Manager of Football Marcus Ashcroft at the four day Combine. 

One hundred and eleven Draft prospects will participate in an in-depth look at their potential to play AFL. Testing will measure athletic attributes such as speed, agility and endurance along with refined drills to assess football skills. 

AFL National and International Talent Manager Kevin Sheehan said the Draft Combine signals the start of a new football year.

“Representatives from all 18 AFL clubs will be in attendance to see the best young talent in the country and some of the best international prospects go through their paces. The testing is the final piece for club recruiters who have been following the players’ performances throughout the year ahead of November’s Draft,” Mr Sheehan said.
